Hi Todd,
By all means, enter a bugzilla. We will resolve this one way or another.
I'm more or less a CVS server illiterate and I have always thought that
the server concealed the actual physical location of folders on disk,
whether or not they were symlinked etc. The CVSNT server I use does that
(there's a 'location' which is the physical location on disc and a
'name' which is the cvsroot as it appears to the clients). Apparently,
Linux/Unix systems work differently.
Thanks Todd for spending time tracking this down.
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
